Yeah I am over 25. Just wanted to understand as to what a sensible insurance would qualify as. Like I said, this is my first car in this category and I have no idea as to what to expect. I paid low on the car I have got but its understandably so as its not nearly as expensive as Tesla. May be I had wrong expectations reading some people getting low quotes on here. People who obviously are much more experienced drivers than me.
I'm 30, 12 years experience and I'm getting quotes between £450-600 ish. My current car is a BMW 330i, so similar-ish performance (a bit slower) and I pay £390. Most people seem to be getting slightly higher than that, between 600-1000. I live in a fairly quiet area which helps. In London I would expect this to be higher again. It does seem that it's really variable though, so it's a guessing game.
All you can do is make sure you add 1 or 2 named drivers with more experience, and make sure you try not to pick a high risk job title: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/car-insurance-job-picker/
Thoughts on myUS for the Rimetrix covers vs taking them back myself?
I'm in the US at the end of March, and could pay $90 for an 'Extra Bag' to them back with me '90x75x43cm' max size.
However this + the sales tax for the state of Washington seems to make the costs very similar, assuming the average import cost is £350?
And then, I might get questioned walking out of Heathrow with my cardboard box of Wheel-Trims?

I read a story here about a young driver who was quoted £14k for a Model 3 insurance
Model 3 Insurance - Young Driver
Hey there, I've just made the initial deposit for a SR+ Model 3 and I now need to sort insurance out and stuff. I've been trying to search for insurance options but it seems like no one wants to insure me based on the fact that I'm 19. I only managed to find one quote for £14000 which is just...

Might be an issue if you have only limited driving experience. You might have more luck with specialist insurers like Adrian Flux or A Plan. I had to go down that route as I wrote off a car 4 weeks after passing my test (not my fault) but as a new driver I didn't know how to gather evidence etc and the old woman who hit me knew how to play the system! She had just left hospital with a bad leg, couldn't apply her brakes and shouldn't have been driving! After that I was blackballed from driving anything remotely decent or had to pay stupid money. Used Flux for that and then A Plan for my R8 as I had rotton luck with 4 idiots in 3 years slamming into me. All that talk of 'wont effect your claims' is nonsense - they see a claim as claim regardless of fault and price accordingly
I got a quote for £435 from Admiral, over 60 max NCD Essex. My 4 series convertible is due for MOT soon so I thought I would get that done and possibly sell when I have got used to EV charging and weather improves to increase demand for open top. So clicked the insure 2nd car button and price went straight down to £375 or so and then when I put in the BMW details the final price for both was £495, same 2 drivers. Effectively £60 extra for 2nd car.

I am an A-Plan customer and very pleased with their service, but as of last week the MY was not on their list, hopefully this is solved at the end of the month.Might be an issue if you have only limited driving experience.

I'll be right behind you, picking up from Glasgow at 11. I have a final invoice pdf with both numbers on, but have also had 2 texts this week with the reg number mentioned.

Just keep pestering Shell Hayle to get the bloody recharge units switched on. Been waiting ages for those
For any salary sacrifice leasers interested, my timeline for MY Red/Black/Induction via Zenith is as follows:
12 Dec - order placed.
1 Feb - Text from Tesla - ‘Your vehicle is on the way, arrival date being calculated’
4 Feb - Called Tesla - provisional home delivery date of 1 Mar received. VIN received.
10 Feb - Text from Tesla - ‘Brent cross closed, pick up from Bluewater on 1 March’. Called Tesla next morning who said they could look at delivery but might affect timing. I stuck with Bluewater.
14 Feb - Call received from Tesla on Dartford number confirming 1 Mar collection at Bluewater.
21 Feb - Text from Tesla - ‘Your license plate is …’
Should be picking up next week with a ‘22 plate - hard to wait the last few days
